Christmas illness

[vyvyanx]

It's been a slightly challenging time. O came down with what seems to be Covid on Christmas Eve, preventing him from going to midnight mass or his Christmas Day service as usual, and leaving him largely unable to taste our elaborate Christmas dinner. He's much improved now, but still not back to normal. On Saturday I started developing a sore throat, have had two nights with minimal sleep, and am now definitely Ill as well. Also our elderly cat - who has been suffering with chronic diarrhoea for more than a year now, caused by IBD (probably) - has had a flare-up of his symptoms and has been off his food, being sick etc. And of course there's an especially cold snap coming on top of that. But in spite of these things, we've still had a fairly nice time.

I hope 2026 will be an improvement on 2025, for us and the world at large.
